Besides being an artist Anjaneya is also inventor of a tin grinding machine which is a handy equipment for all the artisans. This machine eases the work of grinding of tin. A lot of man power is saved.
The color blended with tin liquid lasts for a longer time which is used for painting all the arts manufactured by KINNAL artisans.
Since Mr.Anjaneya was facing financial problem to manufacture the equipment for this machine, the TEPP-TUC-SSIT granted him funds to continue his Innovation.
To run a pilot test, now Anjaneya has got the machine manufactured and has installed in his workshed. This is being innaugurated on 16th of December 2008, in the presence of Dr.A.S.Rao, Dr. Vijayavital Dr.Krishnamurthy & Mr.Sanjay Kumar who are responsible for turning the dream of making a Tin Grinding Machine into a reality.
Man of Art
Anjaneya.H.Chitrakar - an artist by birth has continued this profession of fine art inherited from his ancestors in KINNAL. Originally, after the fall of The Great Vijayanagar Empire, majority of families who were engaged in the skills of fine arts migrated to a small village in Hyderbad Karnataka in the District of Koppal called KINNAL.
We can find majority of families engaged in a producing variety of artistic dolls, wall mounts, play toys, specially carved swings with beautiful paintings, wood made cradles with unbelievable patterns of designs, and the list continues...
Almost the entire village is engaged with fine art making. They have mastered art by their birth so this small village can be called as "VILLAGE OF ARTS".
There are many more "Leanardos" in the village still to be exposed to the world and this is perhaps first attempt to bring the skills of Anjanappa Chitrakar to a world recognition.
